Thrift Store Finds - The Toaster

My hubby came home with this little gem from our local Goodwill. For a whopping $4.99, he purchased the $320 Dualit 4 Slice Chrome Toaster. Isn't it lovely? The toaster was in new condition with nary a crumb inside.

Being the frugal gal that I am, I was appalled that a company would actually charge that much for a toaster. How could Dualit justify this hefty price tag? After all, it's just toast.

Not wanting to shun my hubby's purchase, I decided to give the big shiny box a try. I plunked a piece of bread into one of the slots, lifted the lever and turned the dial. Two minutes later my toast was ready.

To my surprise, the Dualit made the best piece of toast I've ever had. Ever. Honest. Never has a piece of bread been so evenly toasted or perfectly golden brown. Who knew that making toast could be so exciting!

Should my new toaster succumb to an untimely death, I won't be forking out the big bucks for a new one. I have my limits. I will tell you, however, that I am delighted that the hubby snatched this one up. $5 was a small price to pay for the perfect toast.


*** Updated:  After further consideration, should the toaster kick the bucket, I would weep bitterly and then promptly go buy a replacement.  On sale, of course.  The toast is just that good.

*** The opinions expressed are my own.  The fine folks at Dualit have no clue I exist. I purchased the toaster with my hubby's hard-earned cash and have not been compensated in any way for my review.
